Similarities between 1825 and 1860:

-- You can own up to 100% of a company

-- You cannot go bankrupt; companies do not need to buy trains (and in fact, you cannot contribute to help a company buy a train.)

-- You can sell up to 100% of a company into the Bank Pool, including the director's share if no one else still owns 2 shares.

-- A company with no train can rent the next new train available from the bank (in 1825, only if the company has no director, but even in 1860 if a company has no train, you have to ask whether you should continue to own a lot of it.)

-- Neither dividends from shares in the Bank Pool nor those from shares in the Initial Offering go into the company treasury. If you want to build the company treasury rapidly, you must withhold (1860's halt rule is a minor tweak to this, but only a minor one.)

-- A company's stock price can leap up the price chart (both games allow up to quadruple jumps,) allowing it to catch up rapidly in price as long as it now has strong income.

In my opinion, these are strong similarities that will help shape strategy. They are all different from (to take the archtype of the 1830 branch) 1830.
